Hannalie Tauté recently moved from George, a large town in the Southern Cape, to Prince Albert, a small, iconic and very beautiful village in the Karoo.
Some artists will react to their surroundings but others, like Tauté, live and work in their own universe and I see no sign that her dark and edgy feel has softened at all.
Tauté’s comments on gender, motherhood and childhood are sly, witty and beautifully crafted and are without a hint of po-faced sermonizing.
Her work is being increasingly collected both here and abroad. She is a young artist of great talent and originality whose vision horrifies some, but is addictive to those who share her noir sensibilities.
